Cervical compression of sympathetic nerves is commonly seen in spinal cord cervical spondylosis, nerve root cervical spondylosis, and mixed cervical spondylosis. Treatments include medication, surgery, physical therapy, etc.
1. Spinal cord cervical spondylosis: For patients with mild symptoms or contraindications to surgery, conservative treatment can be adopted, such as drug treatment, ibuprofen extended-release tablets, indomethacin, etc., and nerve-nourishing drugs such as vitamin B, methylcobalamin, etc., can also be applied to patients with severe pain. If conservative treatment is ineffective or surgery is indicated, surgery such as cervical spine microscopic surgery can be performed.
2. Neurogenic cervical spondylosis: commonly used drugs include aspirin and diclofenac sodium. Intravenous dexamethasone can be used if the pain is severe. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery such as anterior decompression and fusion of cervical vertebrae, posterior decompression surgery, etc. can be performed.
3. Mixed cervical spondylosis: Commonly used drugs include anti-inflammatory and pain relieving drugs such as ibuprofen, muscle relaxants such as epirubicin, nutritive nerve drugs such as vitamin B1 and methylcobalamin. Those who are not effective in conservative treatment can take cervical discectomy, bone graft fusion and internal fixation, and simple osteotomy.
The above treatments can be combined with physical therapy to relieve symptoms. If the above situation occurs, it is recommended to carry out standardized treatment as soon as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease. All the above medications should be used under the guidance of a pharmacist or doctor, avoid self-medication.
